Video Summary

The discussion revolved around the treatment of acute root tears in patients without virus alignment or arthritis. The consensus among the speakers was that nonoperative treatment is not recommended, and surgery, specifically root repair, is favored for the best chance of healing and long-term correction. Techniques and rehabilitation strategies were also discussed, with an emphasis on patient compliance and understanding the need for non-weight bearing post-op. The debate culminated in a voting session on the preferred treatment approach.
